The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by psychdoc28 gorgeous ring at a great price
I bought this as a ring that I could either add to my wedding set or wear alone on my right hand and it works beautifully either way. It's super classy and delicate but also substantial and "blingy" enough to be easily noticed on its own! The picture does not do it justice and it's above and beyond what I'd expect from a ring of this price and carat weight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by rn123 Best Wedding Band Ever!
I absolutely love my wedding band! It is perfect and it goes so well with my engagement ring. The picture above does not do the ring any justice. The diamonds shine so nicely! I would definitely recommend getting a ring at Helzberg because the staff are so friendly, not pushy, and willing to help as much as they can.

This ring matches my engagement ring to "T". The size and sparkle of the diamonds enhance the beauty of my overall set. It's even more beautiful because it represents the love my husband and I have for one another.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Michka I love the millgrain on my wedding band!
This is the wedding band that I chose with my fiance and I love this ring with all my heart. I love the vintage look of the ring and the millgrain really adds to the style of the ring. I get many compliments on this ring and it is very comfortable to wear. I also think the sparkle from the diamonds is very bright and noticeable and I love looking at my ring and I catch myself doing it all day long! My ring is also very durrable and I have had no problems with the ring whatsoever. This is very important to me because I am a Cosmetologist and I do a lot with hair and have my hands in water a lot. I am around chemicals and hair product too and my ring is still shiny and looking great! I love the choice I made with purchasing this ring and I plan on adding to it in the near future!!!
